About my music,
I am extremely hopeful and excited! especially when my grandpa tells me to "hang it up and get a REAL job with retirement benefits!" Its soooo empowering! I've been at it since I was 15.(Music, that is.) However, I did quite a bit of musical theatre starting at the age of 8 wich allowed me to travel with shows to England and Ireland. Had my first record deal when I was 15 with EMI Records. (EMIRG) When I turned 17, the record was finished and they were preparing to launch the single hard-core! Suddenly, the president and my A&R dude were fired and my project was placed on a shelf. My heart was broken!! Shortly after, I left for New York to go and work with a new label, new producers and a whole new crew. Since then, I have met and worked with an elaborate array of musical geniuses David Foster, Toni Braxton, Shanice Wilson, Nancy Wilson, Les Brown, Jr., Jodeci, Missey Elliott, Timbalin, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, Stevie J, H-Town and many more. Over the years, I have attempted to focus on other carreers of interest aside from music and found that my spirit will die if I am not performing, writing and recording!! I have NEVER felt so fresh. I have never been this proud of my body of work and it continues to progress every single day. I have a strong following of folks who dig my shit and I have never performed to anything but sold out gigs. (The Mint, The Roxy, The Whisky, The Cinegrill, Viperoom, etc...) I currently have a single out in Europe and I am writing and recording with some of the best producers in LA. I'm gathering material, preparing for some new shows and gettin' ready to go shopping for "that label". I wanna' say thank you to everyone who has stood by me and my music even when I had to crawl towards the light. I am fighting to be heard. Theres a whole lotta' tricks under my sleeve!!

About me personally,
I think that animals are cooler than people. I'm afraid to die. More afraid to die than to live and life is sooo scary. I think slavery is/was wack as hell! I think gangsta' boys are super fine. I'm insecure and yet I have so much strength. I am co-dependant, creative and prefer the forest to the beach. My dad is from London, England and my mom was born in Ohio. Shes Irish and Swiss. I miss my sister Becky! I miss great hip hop songs like..."Flava In Your Ear" (Craig Mack) and "Mass Appeal" (DJ Premiere) and frickin "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" (Busta)...I love the theme song from St. Elmos Fire. I remember the day John Lennon was shot. I was 5 and couldn't understand why my parents were crying so hard. I met Prince one night in a club, he asked for my number, called me later that night, picked me up in his limo, had the dude drive us to the beach, and all he did was ask me a million questions then dropped me back of at home!! I was like...huh?? I love Mexican and Italian food the most. I hate needles and shots!!!! Don't mind an injection in a muscle or a tattoo that much, but inject or extract from my viens??? Holy Lord! Look out! I hate asking for help. Even if I suffer in the long run. I enjoy giving. I have terrible insomnia and I tend to get more accomplished after 1am than I will all day. I can't wait to have kids. I enjoy wine. I love when it rains. I hate pumpkin pie. (Texture thing!) I wish I could live inside Disneyland. I bite the inside of my cheeks, hate my nose and love to snowboard. Thats all I can think of for now...
